I find it amusing that you believe German bureaucracy to be versatile and efficient enough to be able to be steered so quickly by spontaneous political will.

I believe that it is able to receive new orders, even on short notice so that politicians can make speeches. That has nothing to do witch actual processing speed. On the contrary, in fact, they might very well have to re-open a case file they just closed and start from scratch. Sisyphus has nothing on German bureaucrats.

It also doesn’t mean that they follow those new orders until a court reminds them to, not all new orders trickle down to everywhere they should.
